Dia De Los Muertos (Day of the Dead)

Dia De Los Muertos is an important holiday, which mainly originated in Mexico, and is celebrated on November 1 and 2. This celebration involves family and friends gathering to pay their respects and remember loved ones who have died. Although Dia De Los Muertos seems like a sombre day focusing on death, it's actually a joyous occasion. On this day, Mexicans visit cemeteries, decorate the graves, and spend time there honoring their passed family and friends. Decorated altars are built in their homes, elaborate costumes are worn, with faces painted to resemble skeletons, and parties are hosted. Although we missed this joyous occasion, there are still decorations remaining reflecting this celebration around the small fishing village of Zihuatanejo.
